Released about a month ago (although not in the U.S. yet), Scottish band Biffy Clyro's fifth album Only Revolutions builds upon the already-raised-bar template of 2007's breakthrough album Puzzle. The songs, whether rocker, mid-tempo or ballad, all share a sense of grandeur that contemporaries like Snow Patrol and Coldplay strive for, but don't pull off quite as consistently as Biffy do.
Like Puzzle, the new album was produced by Gggarth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Chevelle) who helps the band create epic soundscapes to match the earnest and anthemic songwriting. Already a critical and commercial smash in the UK, hopefully Revolutions will continue to build their stateside reputation as well.
The album's opening track "The Captain" is it's recently released third single, full of sweeping orchestration and a purposeful, driving beat.

Slated for release as the fourth single after the start of the new year is "Many of Horror," which manages to sound as much pretty as it does powerful.

"That Golden Rule" rocks heartily...

"Born On A Horse" is quirky & cool...
